"Be it known that I,'W1LL1AM BQYEEE, of 'the city of N ew'York, inthe county and State o f New York,

i have invented a new and improvedPaperfFile; and'l i ,y do hereby declare `thatthe following is a-full, clear,

and exact descriptioni'thereof, which will enableothers skilled in the art to make and use 'the same, reference `being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specificatiom Q i i Figure 1` represents a face view of my improved paperile`, showing topened.

` Figure 2 is a transverse section of the same, takenA on`the plane of -the line a: x, tig. 1. f

Figure 3 is a detail enlarged face view of one end -Siinilar .letters of reference indicate corresponding This invention relates to a new file for music, newsi per, and to allow place. y

The invention consistsin providing movable elastic cord-'holders to the ends of thescover.

`A in the drawing represents the cover of my improved paperiile'. lIt. is made of pasteboard or other material, and of suitable size.

B Bjare the cord-holders. The same are made of `whalebone, or other equivalent elasticfmateriah and they are to be applied to the inner side oi the back a `of the coreigat or near the ends of the same.

For this purpose I have provided` pockets, 'b b, on thecoveiy into which the eudsot the holders B can he fitted, as shown..

By their spring po lche same to he opened flat at every` we r `the. holders will beheld tlat i papers', 86e., and has foriits object to preserve the pav wILLIAM BOYREE., or NEW YORK, N. Y. t

The Schedule referred to in these Letters `Patent and mking part of the sanne.

when the le is opened, but they will he bent when the coveris closed.

They can readily he drawn out of their pockets when necessary, and are not fastened to the cover. ,O is'the cord by which the papers are to be secured.

One end of this cord is tied to one holder, B. It is I 'then ,alternatel y wound over .the two rollers, as shown,

to forni a series of longitudinal strings, to cachot' which a` paper can he secured by strapping it under such string.

VThe outer end of the cord C is, by means of au elastic cord or strap, d, fastened to one of the holders. 'lhereby it is held terse.

The papers are held by the strings. Music I prefer to put only under 'those strings that come from under the holders, so thatthe latter will prevent the paper from slipping to the edge of the cover.

The spring-holders O will also hold the back lat when the file is opened,a1n d will consequently-hold the paper properly opened.

, They may, if desired, be used to hold separatecords or wires, although I prefer to apply the continuous string, as shown. i

Havn g thus 'described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The removable spring-holders B, secured inthe pockets b of' the cover, for the purpose of holding the ordfC, and at-tening the back of the cover, as set orth.
